In Season: Story Slam

Description

Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County is hosting a Story Slam as the final closing event of their exhibit In Season: Our Rural Food System in Photos displayed at The TAUNY Center in Canton on October 29th, 2022 from 1pm-3pm. Enjoy walking and mingling with community members through the photo exhibit one last time with free refreshments. To participate, you can share a 5-minute story about food and/or farming or just come, grab some food, and listen to the different stories. The theme for the event is “Food and Farming”. All stories must be true, from your experience, relate to the event theme and told without any notes or props. People's choice awards will be voted by audience members after stories are told. While this event is free and open to all, pre-registration is required due to the limited space and time. There are limited storytelling spots available, so Extension cannot guarantee there will be time for every story. Storytelling is a powerful community event. This story slam is a one-time celebration of Extension’s In Season exhibit and is inspired by- but not affiliated with- other storytelling gatherings.
